The Maize Rage student section and team benches are on the opposite side of the arena, replaced by wider club seats with an embroidered block ‘M’ on each chair.

Not sure I like the sound of this. Maize Rage always looked good on TV. Hopefully the cameras will be moved to the opposite side as well. Otherwise we're going to be subjected to looking at blue-hairs sitting on their hands for the duration of the game.

The Maize Rage will still be on TV. If you look at the way the block M on the court is oriented, the bleachers that the Maize Rage sit in are right behind it. The M will always be right side up on camera so the Maize Rage will be just as visible as before.

I'm guessing those basketballs were just there yesterday for the Open House bit, after all quite a few kids were there and that's the kind of graphics arenas use for Open Houses. I bet on Gameday's we'll see like a block M up there or a mini scoreboard for different league scores

Can't believe there aren't more students - during Webber era seems like we went from lower up into the upper section almost to the top.

That being said, I think there are big changes coming next year. While waiting in line to buy season tix, I asked a guy how I got tix in the lower bowl. He said next year there were going to be big changes and reseating. Hopefully they put more students down low.
